Congratulations on your committee member election. The New Committee member’s timeline will give you information and guidance on running your student group. The important things that you need to do now are:

 

Training: All of the committee members of your group must complete committee training, which will cover all you need to know about running a student group. This must be completed no later than four weeks after being elected or your group will be referred to the Student Group Committee.

 

Sign the code of conduct: all committee members who wish to authorise financial or other forms, must sign a code of conduct at the Student Development counter. You cannot make payments, book rooms, or organise events, until this is done. 

 

Handover miniforum: take place in term 3 and is a chance to discuss any concerns or questions you may have about being a new committee member. 

 

Annual risk assessment: must be sent to studentgroups@guild.bham.ac.uk no later than four weeks after attending committee training. A risk assessment must be authorised before you organise any activity for your group. The risk assessment page has more information on completing risk assessments.

 

 

 

The new committee will not be able to access the group account if they do not complete the above steps.
